SOUNDS
I am absolutely love the tone of his guitar in every way. For me its not better for hard rock setting and especially with Marshall amplifier than it does with a Gibson Les Paul guitar. It has a great feeling and a great thick warm tone that mixes very well and a hard rock or metal situation. That is why so many players to play aggressively for the years have look to this guitar for their main instrument needs. If you use this guitar with a high gain amplifier be ready to crank out some great rock 'n roll tones. If you put his guitar with the clean amplifier you will lack a little bit in the sparkling shiny clean tones. Since it has wto humbucker pickups and a pretty thick wood body you're not getting get those chimey clean tones as you would with a Fender Stratocaster telecaster that features alter or ash wood. It's been a really picking up the tone and a clean tones are not to come off that brilliant and sparkling.
OVERALL OPINION
I highly recommend this guitar to anyone is looking for a great recording guitar or great gig in guitar. It's an extremely versatile guitar for anyone he needs an all around good instrument. He can do just about anything for anybody and pretty much get away with it especially playing in a digging situation. In a recording situation this is getting get you great hiking hard rock tones and even metal tones. It's great dropped tuning which is a highlight that Fender guitars really aren't able to do unless you're playing a Charvel guitar. Overall this is a great instrument and a highly recommended guitar for anyone needing a promising and amazing instrument.
